When pulling up to a light or stop sign the car shuts off. Put into park starts right back up. When I put it into drive will not go nowhere, put it back in the park and back and to drive several times and it will finally go. What is causing this?

Hello,

I have seen this problem before the throttle bore gets dirty which causes the actuator to malfunction. Here is a guide and diagrams below to help you get the job done:
